The Royal Mint produces its largest coin ..... EVER!!!
The Royal Mint has produced a 10kg (22lb) gold coin, the biggest in its 1,100-year history. It took 400 hours to produce the coin – described by the Mint as a “masterwork” – including four days of polishing.
The coin has already been sold. The Mint did not give details about the sale or buyer, but said a coin of this calibre and craftsmanship would be priced in the region of six figures.
The 20cm-wide coin was created by a team of master craftspeople at the Mint, combining traditional skills with innovative technology. Modern techniques were used at the start of the process, with engraving machines used to carefully cut the design on to the coin, which has a denomination of £10,000.
A master toolmaker then hand-worked the coin, removing any marks made by the cutting process, before four days of polishing. Finally, the coin was laser-frosted to texture the surface.
